Ok, I know it's a few days out. Any good summary of timing and amounts across central Iowa?

Still waiting on Franky to confirm.

Basically worst environment imaginable Thursday/Friday.

Anything over 6 inches (humble brag) and Saturday will still be a problem too.

I definitely wouldn’t plan on traveling on Thursday. I’d avoid Friday. Saturday might be better but winds will be bad.

The snow amounts might not amount to much. But the winds will make it blizzard like. I’d expect blizzard warnings for Thursday.

Got plenty of liquor. The question is do I need to factor in a buffer so I don't have to drink all of the "good stuff".

How is this even a question? Get focused.

Any of you peeps flown out of Cedar Rapids? Wondering how early you have to show up for their flights.

I fly out of there all of the time. Typically with non-weather issues/non-holiday travel, I'll be parking my car there 1-1.5 hours before a flight (pending if I'm flying solo or with wife and kids). Considering weather and holiday travel, you should be targeting a minimum of 1.5 hours before your flight.

How much snow is on the ground in Cedar Rapids area?

Right now? <1". You can see the grass sticking through the snow on the ground.

Well - a blizzard would save me about 10 hours of driving this weekend. *shrug*

asking for a friend, is it appropriate to snowmobile your children to daycare

 

[wxman1]

Just ordered a snowblower to replace the one I gave away to my BIL so it will shift now.

All carry on for this flight.

If you’re not checking bags and you’re just heading straight to the gate at CID, the only bottleneck is TSA - and that’s usually not much of an issue. With the holidays and lots more passengers, security lines will slow you down some, but it’s still fairly easy to get through. An hour should be more than enough.

Not going to lie, my dad had one lined up with a neighbor when my sisters had due dates in December and February respectively.

Don't forget about those ATC delays
